The level has served as a demand zone while forming a head-and-shoulders (H&S) topping pattern, which has been developing since December. The H&S pattern comprises three peaks, with the middle being the highest and a horizontal demand zone, called the neckline, identified by a trendline connecting the base of the three peaks.
A break below the neckline signifies weakness in demand and a bullish-to-bearish trend change in the market, often yielding deeper losses equal to the gap between the neckline and the middle peak.
The bulls, therefore, need to defend the support near $2, failing which will trigger the H&S breakdown, opening doors for a slide to 60 cents, the level that acted as stiff resistance last year.

Crypto custodian BitGo a potential acquisition target for Wall Street firms, analysts say
Compass Point and Canaccord call BitGo a potential acquisition target and defend the stock despite its weak debut, citing growth in institutional crypto infrastructure.
Lo que debes saber:
- Wall Street analysts say BitGo’s expansion into full-service institutional crypto finance could drive long-term growth and make it an attractive acquisition target for traditional financial firms.
- Analysts argue that investors are overlooking BitGo’s potential to cross-sell prime brokerage-style services, which could significantly boost revenue if it can narrow the gap with rivals like Galaxy and Coinbase.
- Despite BitGo’s stock falling more than 40% since its January IPO, some analysts view the selloff as an overreaction and maintain buy ratings, citing the company’s solid competitive moat and strategic value to big banks entering crypto.
